    Walkway in side yard
    Brianna S.

    Shimon and Leon Design & Build were amazing to work with. From the beginning, they were extremely communicative and timely with everything. He took time to review all of the details clearly before signing, then promptly began the work. There were no lags or gaps in the project and we are so happy with the work. He gave us great improvement recommendations along the way, ultimately leaving us with the project looking even better. Highly recommend!!

    I could not be happier with the work Shimon and his team did on my property. The workmanship exceeded my expectations. It was evident from day one how committed Shimon is to his customers and to quality of work. Shimon communicated with me daily, keeping me informed, notifying me of next steps and even checking in to see if I had any questions. He was very accommodating and available. The quality of work was exceptional. Careful attention was paid to detail and the final product is beautiful. His crew were respectful and kept the work site clean and tidy. I would definitely recommend Leon Design and Build for your next project. You will not be disappointed in the quality and craftsmanship of the work they do.

    We are ecstatic. The transformation of our backyard has been remarkable. Shimon took a neglected backyard and turned it into our perfect outdoor space. Throughout the entire process, we were very well taken care of. Of course, there were a few minor hiccups you'd expect with any project but it was how quickly they reacted and made things right that really made a huge difference for us. Shimon helped us through the design and made great recommendations. He was a huge help in sourcing and suggesting materials he felt matched our aesthetic. Shimon is organized, thorough, and has a great eye for design. And above all else has great integrity.

    The finished 48'x10' driveway
    Nickolas D.

    I recently had my old concrete driveway replaced by Leon Design & Build, and I couldn't be happier with the results! From the very start, Shimon, the owner, was outstanding. He came out personally to go over the project with me, thoroughly explained every detail, and made sure I was comfortable with the plan. What really impressed me was how professional and communicative Shimon was throughout the entire process. He provided written quotes and contracts up front, and kept me updated as the work progressed. There were some real challenges with the slope of the street and the driveway, but instead of cutting corners, Shimon was fully committed to finding the best solution and making sure the final outcome was something I'd be proud of. On top of the quality and professionalism, his pricing was very competitive. I truly feel I received excellent value for the investment--the workmanship and attention to detail far exceeded my expectations at a fair cost. The driveway looks fantastic, and I know the job was done right. If you're looking for a contractor who is honest, reliable, competitively priced, and dedicated to customer satisfaction, I highly recommend Leon Design & Build. Shimon and his team truly go above and beyond!

    Before

    Leon Design & Build did an amazing job on our front and backyard! Rom was a true professional who offered both design expertise and flexibility to help us transform our yard while also staying within budget. Communication was great throughout the process and his crew left our yard clean and orderly at the end of each day. We are beyond happy with the results! Multiple neighbors have commented on how impressed they are with the Leon design crew as well as the finished product. PS - I don't ever write yelp reviews but Rom and his team have earned every positive review you see.

    Our new backyard
    Alireza K.

    We had a great experience working with Shimon. He completed the project on time and was very responsive to all our comments and requests. I appreciated his transparency with costs and payments -- everything was clear from start to finish. When working on the contract, he suggested creative ways to lower the overall project cost without compromising quality. He visited the job site almost every day to ensure things were progressing smoothly. We're very happy with the results and would gladly recommend him to others.

    Shimon and his team were wonderful to work with and I would definitely recommend him and Leon Design and Build for any of your home projects. Our backyard needed a lot of work with a landscaping project that was a big job. Shimon was very helpful planning the steps that would be needed and explaining everything to us along the way so we could see the progress. The work was done very efficiently I was very impressed. More than anything Shimon is a very nice guy who it was a pleasure to meet and work with. We are very happy with our choice to trust Shimon and Leon Design and Build with our project and very happy with the outcome, our yard looks great, thanks Shimon!

    Had amazing experience with Leon Design & Build. My wife and I thought we knew exactly what we wanted to do with our landscape project and Shimon gave us some amazing ideas that worked perfectly for our lifestyle. We will definitely be calling him back for phase 2 of our project. Thank you, Shimon.

    New concrete steps and pathway. Replaced a patchwork of concrete dirt and artificial turf.

    I selected Leon Design and Build for a home project, and we are very happy with the outcome! Rom and his team are highly experienced and deliver professional, high-level results. They also improved on some existing areas not part of the project. They do thorough work without taking any shortcuts.

    Lawn removed

    We had the pleasure of working with Leon Design & Build to completely remodel our backyard--and they delivered a stunning transformation in just one week to ensure everything was ready in time for our daughter's birthday party. From start to finish, the experience was nothing short of exceptional. After interviewing six different contractors, no one came close to the professionalism, attention to detail, and craftsmanship that Leon and his team demonstrated. They did not just move quickly--they worked with precision. Over 75% of their time was spent on prep work, ensuring that the foundation, slope, and drainage of our new pavers were executed flawlessly. The final result? Absolutely perfect stonework that's both functional and beautifully designed. We also had turf installed for our kids, and they used only the highest quality materials. It is clear they take pride in their work--every decision, every cut, and every inch of the project reflects thoughtful craftsmanship. Leon Design & Build is a professional, fairly priced company that values quality over shortcuts. You might find someone to do the job for a little less, but we are confident you will end up paying more in the long run to fix what was missed. Do it right the first time--go with Leon Design & Build. We are beyond happy we did.

    finished pad

    We had an amazing experience working with Rom from Leon Design and Build! He came out to quote a concrete pad for a tiny house on wheels we're setting up in our backyard. Our plans didn't have all the necessary details for the pad, but Rom went the extra mile--meeting with the city inspector and making sure everything was done to code. The entire process was smooth from start to finish. Communication was spot on, the job was completed faster than expected, and his crew was professional, hardworking, and kept the site clean and tidy throughout. The quality of their work is excellent--you can tell they really care about what they do. If you're looking for someone reliable, skilled, and easy to work with, I highly recommend Rom and his team. We're so glad we found them!

    Retaining wall.
    Hannah S.

    Our property is located on a steep slope and we needed a retaining wall to prevent a landslide. Rom and his crew did a great job building us a small wall. The crew worked solid to finish the job in time. Rom checked in on us at the end of each day to make sure the project was moving forward. Overall, we are very pleased with this company and their crew of hard working people.

    Sealer was just installed, project completed!

    We hired Leon Design and Build for a driveway repair and expansion, and we couldn't be happier with the results. We reached out to several contractors for bids to remove landscaping, a tree, and grade a sloped area to seamlessly blend with the existing driveway. Initially, we were considering concrete options like aggregate or stamped concrete, but Sean introduced us to the benefits of pavers. After seeing some options, it quickly became our favorite choice for both aesthetics and durability. The communication throughout the project exceeded our expectations. From the first meeting to signing the contract, everything started on time, even with the project kicking off during the busy holiday season. Overall, we are very pleased with the final result and highly recommend Sean and Rom for your next project!

I'm talking with n the phone with me within minutes figuring out what to do to sort things out. They were incredibly fair about everything. The crews they sent were also very very good. They worked very hard to make sure they understood what we wanted and where we wanted it. We are picky and didn't know what we were doing. They were patient and walked us through all the options, with good suggestions and ideas. At times they really went out of their way to give us exactly what we wanted, rerouting vents and pipes so we could have niches and medicine cabinets exactly where we wanted them. All in all the most positive experience I've had with a contractor.

Based on that storyline, they're refusing to take responsibility for the flooring damage. The windows were installed without permits. I brought in four independent inspections, including three licensed general contractors and one home inspector. All confirmed active water intrusion and pointed to the window installation as the likely source. Despite that, Forever Builders continues to deny, redirect, and avoid addressing the actual installation. The floors never had water intrusion before the remodel. The problem started after their work. Instead of owning it and fixing it, they've chosen to argue technicalities and wait for CSLB to force the issue. For a company that promotes itself as 5-star, this has been anything but. When serious defects surface, there's no urgency, no accountability, and no effort to stand behind the work. Just excuses. That is not 5-star service. That is not what integrity looks like.

    Review Update (2026)…read more I am updating my original 5-star review from a few years ago. At the time, we were very happy with our kitchen remodel and the overall experience working with Creative Design & Build. The project turned out beautifully, which is why I originally left such a positive review. Over the years, however, I noticed that one section of the flooring felt slightly soft when walking on it. At first, it did not seem serious, so we continued to live with it. Recently, the problem became worse and a section of the floor began to noticeably sink when stepped on and eventually a few edges of the flooring broke. At that point, I became concerned that it could become a safety issue. Because we still had plenty of spare flooring boards left over from the project, I attempted to replace the affected board myself. Unfortunately, I was unable to get the new board to fit correctly due to the locking system, and I could not restore the original board either. I then contacted Creative Design & Build for assistance. One reason I reached out was because our original project manager, Oded, had told us that if we ever had any issues, we should contact the company. I left a voicemail and later received a return call from a staff member. After I explained the situation, she said she would check with management and get back to me. A few days later, I received a text message stating that the warranty had expired and that no repairs would be covered. This was disappointing because I had never been informed that there was a four-year warranty period, nor was I able to find any reference to such a limitation in our contract. When I asked for details regarding the warranty and whether they could recommend someone to repair the issue, I did not receive any further response. There were two other issues relating to electrical and plumbing, however we decided to live with that until we had a major problem we needed fixing. I still appreciate the work that was done on our remodel years ago, and our kitchen remains a space we enjoy. However, I have been disappointed by the lack of follow-up and support when a problem arose. My advice to future customers is to make sure all warranty terms, coverage details, and expiration dates are clearly documented and understood before signing a contract.
